AAMG seeks recommendations as we plan for a National Survey

Hi AAMG Community!

AAMG is making plans to conduct a comprehensive survey of the nearly 2,000 academic museums and galleries in the United States. This will be the first time such a survey has been done for the academic museum field, and the published findings will identify much-needed benchmarks, comparisons, and challenges that will benefit our academic museum community, our parent institutions, and the field as a whole.

We are compiling a list of firms to send an RFP for this project. Do you have any you would recommend? Please share your suggestions on the list-serv. Once we know the costs involved, we will determine whether to apply for a grant or if we can cover the costs ourselves. As we move along this process, we’ll be asking you to suggest and review benchmarking priorities.

The Association of Academic Museums and Galleries is the leading educational and professional organization for academic museums, galleries, and collections.
